The camera did not linger on the murder scene but cut immediately to an owl on a nearby tree, which seemed to be watching the crime. The owl slowly blinked, as if refusing to watch anymore, and the scene ended. It was a clever (and I would say sensitive) handling of an awkward scene and left an impression on me. Perhaps another reader can pinpoint the movie?</p>Connie commented on 'Random appearances by owls in movies*'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d83451b26169e20120a7c34360970b2010-01-11T15:19:32Z2010-01-11T15:19:32ZConnieThere were lots of owls in The Fourth Kind but sadly, they didn't make the movie cool at all.<p>There were lots of owls in The Fourth Kind but sadly, they didn&#39;t make the movie cool at all.</p>Renato Perez Pizarro commented on 'Random appearances by owls in movies*'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d83451b26169e20120a7c10602970b2010-01-11T02:37:54Z2010-01-11T02:37:54ZRenato Perez PizarroThen there's Joe Pesci emptying a revolver at an owl in "My Cousin Vinny."<p>Then there&#39;s Joe Pesci emptying a revolver at an owl in &quot;My Cousin Vinny.&quot;</p>
